Gresley A4 Built Doncaster May 1937 (Works Number 1854) Originally
named Buzzard but received Woodcock instead; Renamed Dominion of
Canada June 1937 Originally LNER No 4489
Question did Dominion of Canada ever carry the nameplates Buzzard.

My source indicates the nameplates were never even made

RCTS 2A states that it was planned but never executed and the plates were not cast.

Thanks JJ and Silverfox.

According to Yeadon's Register, Appendix 1, the Buzzard plates were made and fitted but were replaced by the Woodcock plates and then the Dominion plates. It was never seen outside the Plant with the Buzzard plates. It did run briefly in traffic in workshop grey bearing the Woodcock name.

Thanks Solario, that seems to have sorted out my A4 Buzzard question.
